Hillary Clinton “continues to remain healthy and fit to serve as President of the United States,” Dr. Lisa Bardack, Clinton’s physician, says in a detailed letter providing more information about Clinton’s current condition and her overall health.
Bardack first detected a “low-grade fever” of 99.4 degrees in Clinton on Sept. 2, along with congestion and fatigue. “She was advised to rest,” according to the letter, “put on a short course of antibiotics and continued on her allergy medications for an upper respiratory tract infection in the setting of her seasonal allergies,” but the condition worsened. After a CT scan last Friday, she was diagnosed with “mild non-contagious bacterial pneumonia.”
“I advised her to stay home and rest for the next several days,” Bardack writes. “Mrs. Clinton has since been evaluated by me several times and continues to improve.”
We also learn that Clinton had a sinus and ear infection in January. A “myringotomy tube was placed in her left ear” to make things better. (I have had this exact same wintry sinus-ear infection combo and it’s the worst! A fancy tube would’ve been nice.) “Her symptoms resolved and she continued symptom-free for the next six months,” Bardack writes.
Clinton’s “current medications include Armor Thyroid, Coumadin dosed as directed, Levaquin (for a total ten days), Clarinex, as well as B12 as needed.” Her blood pressure is 100/70, her cholesterol is 189 (LDL 103, HDL 56), for those keeping score at home. “The remainder of her complete physical exam was normal and she is in excellent mental condition.”
So … there ya go! Read the full letter here.
